The reality TV star - who is said to have quit The Only Way Is Essex to help get over her breakup from ex James Lock - is said to be keeping her romance low key after her recent, high profile split.

According to The Sun, Danielle is keen to focus on their blossoming relationship out of the public eye, following her recent exit from the ITVBe programme last month.

"Danielle is really keen on Daniel. He’s a real catch and they get on really well," a source said.

“Leaving Towie was hard but she wants to focus on moving on with her life and she wants Daniel to be a part of that.

“Now she won’t have to see James as much and he won’t know everything that’s going on in her life – it feels really refreshing for her.”

It's claimed the two possible lovebirds have been on a couple of 'low key dates' recently, but have avoided being snapped together.

They seem to have met over two months ago for the first time when she met with Daniel, who is an independent distributer for nutrition firm Herbalife International.

Former Celebrity Big Brother star Casey Bachelor shared a snap with them on Instagram, and wrote: “Very successful and exciting meeting with these two daniellearmstrong88@spillsy17 #herballife #excitingtimes.”

Danielle later commented on the snap, saying “How miserable do I look? I promise I am really excited to start building my Danni dream team.”
